The AOD upgrade on the Pixel 10 should pair nicely with Android 16’s Live Updates. The latter displays real-time info from food delivery and ride-hailing apps on the lock screen and notification shade, making it easier to track your orders and rides at a glance. When tapped, a slick transition should take users from the AOD to the lock screen.

G oogle has started rolling out its latest batch of Android 16 features to beta testers, including expanded support for dark mode and themed app icons. The QPR2 beta 1 was announced yesterday alongside Google launching the Pixel 10 series, and is expected to get a full public release sometime in December, according to Google’s release timeline.

Google’s latest Pixel 10 phones, which were just announced today, don’t come with many external physical changes. The most tangible hardware addition across the lineup, in fact, is completely invisible: a set of magnets beneath the phones’ back panels.

Google has confirmed that it will reduce the Pixel 10 line's battery life and charging speed over time to 'stabilize' battery performance.

Even the selfie camera on the Pixel 10 Pro is significantly better: a 42MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture and a 103-degree field of view. On the Pixel 10, you get a 10.5MP shooter with a narrower 95-degree field of view.

New and existing Verizon customers can snag a free Google Pixel 10 Pro with the carrier's Unlimited Ultimate plan when you trade in a Google, Apple, Motorola, or Samsung phone in any condition. Overall, that puts you in line to save $999 on the free Google Pixel 10 Pro.

Google has given the Pixel 10 some major storage upgrades that boost its performance and endurance. Here's what you need to know.
